Successive nights in Aug 2009 at Red Horse Mountain Ranch in Harrison, Idaho Camera: EOS 1DsMark3 and EOS 5DMark2 Lenses: 16-40mm, 15mm fisheye Exposure: Mostly f2.8, 30-seconds per exposure, 30 seconds apart (+2 over-exposure) Strung together using iMovie Note1: that's a thunderstorm in the middle. The lightning was mokre flashes than bolts, unfortunately. The camera got a bit wet, but nothing serious as it was under a tiny hut roof. Note2: The bright star is Jupiter. Not the moon. Jupiter happens to be the closest to the Earth in its orbit, and it's directly opposite the sun, making very bright (like that of a full moon).
